EasyChair Preprint 9526

Abstract

Construction projects are initiated in complex and dynamic environments resulting in circumstances of high uncertainty and risk. Risks always exist in construction projects and often cause schedule delay, cost overrunand poor quality.The main problem is that there is a gap of knowledge of the risk management in construction projects. Thisgap of knowledge represented in the lack of different strategies for managing risks in construction projectsand their techniques and application on the ground.The objectives of this study are to know the main gap in the knowledge of risks in construction projects, and to identify and assess risk factors affecting the construction projects in Darfur States and to know the most influential factors of risks. The study methodology relied on the reference of research literature and a questionnaire with specialists in the construction industry. Thisstudy found that120 factorsresponsible for risks in construction projects.The research showed thatthe highly influential factors are “not storing sufficient quantities of required materials on the site” and “Changes in building materials prices and operating costs due to inflation”. Mediuminfluential factors are “Instability in project management”and “Risks related to poor design plans in terms of lack of clarity or completeness of plans or lack of detailed designs”.
